breathing apparatus.
Skin contact : Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation
develops.
Ingestion : Wash out mouth with water. If material has been swallowed
and the exposed person is conscious, give small quantities of
water to drink. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so
by medical personnel.

Ingestion : No specific data.

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

Notes to physician
Specific treatments
Protection of first-aiders
: Treat symptomatically. Contact poison treatment specialist
immediately if large quantities have been ingested or inhaled.
: No specific treatment.
: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training. If it is suspected that fumes are still present,
the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained
breathing apparatus. It may be dangerous to the person
providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Wash
contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing
it, or wear gloves.

See toxicological information (Section 11)

: No specific fire or explosion hazard.
: Decomposition products may include the following materials:
sulfur oxides
phosphorus oxides
metal oxide/oxides
Avoid breathing dusts, vapors or fumes from burning
materials.
In case of inhalation of decomposition products in a fire,
symptoms may be delayed.
: Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the
vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken
involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment
and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full
face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
: Non-flammable.
: None.
: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not
touch or walk through spilled material. Provide adequate
ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is
inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.
: If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take
note of any information in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable
materials. See also the information in "For non-emergency
personnel".
: Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with
soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant
authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution
(sewers, waterways, soil or air).
: Move containers from spill area. Avoid dust generation. Using
a vacuum with HEPA filter will reduce dust dispersal. Place
spilled material in a designated, labeled waste container.
Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
: Move containers from spill area. Approach release from
upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements
or confined areas. Avoid dust generation. Do not dry sweep.
Vacuum dust with equipment fitted with a HEPA filter and
place in a closed, labeled waste container. Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor. Note: see Section 1 for
emergency contact information and Section 13 for waste
disposal.

: Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see
Section 8). Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not
ingest. If during normal use the material presents a respiratory
hazard, use only with adequate ventilation or wear appropriate
respirator. Keep in the original container or an approved
alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly
closed when not in use. Empty containers retain product
residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.
: Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas
where this material is handled, stored and processed.
Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking
and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective
equipment before entering eating areas. See also Section 8
for additional information on hygiene measures.
: Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original
container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-
ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see
Section 10) and food and drink. Store locked up. Keep
container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use.
Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed
and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled
containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid
environmental contamination.
: None.
: If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor or mist,
use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other
engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne
contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits.
: Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should
be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of
environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume
scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process
equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to
acceptable levels.
: A washing facility or water for eye and skin cleaning purposes
should be present.
: Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should
be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to
avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts.
Recommended: Tightly-fitting goggles

chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary.
> 8 hours (breakthrough time): Protective gloves should be
worn under normal conditions of use.
: Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected
based on the task being performed and the risks involved.
: Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection
measures should be selected based on the task being
performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a
